Planning board elects Lisa Alvarado chair, names Matt vice chair
Summary
At the start of the meeting the Cocoa Beach Planning Board elected Lisa Alvarado as chair and named Matt as vice chair after nominations and a voice vote; members discussed alternate eligibility during the process.
The Cocoa Beach Planning Board opened with elections for board leadership. During nominations, a member nominated Lisa Alvarado for chair; the board approved her nomination by voice vote. A separate nomination for Matt to serve as vice chair was also approved by voice vote.
Members discussed whether an alternate board member could serve as chair. One participant noted that while an alternate may not vote at every meeting, the appointment records list alternates as members; the board clarified that an alternate seated at the meeting was permitted to vote. That procedural exchange occurred before the leadership votes.
The leadership elections were conducted by nomination and voice vote; the meeting record shows verbal ayes and no recorded roll‑call tally in the transcript. The board proceeded to its agenda after confirming the new chair and vice chair.
